I will be the prince at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 13
They immediately stopped attacking Ba Shanzhai, and organized their formation amidst a lieutenant yelling loudly.He also saw that the situation was very unfavorable to them. They changed from the attacking side to being flanked by the Ming army and Ba Shanzhai. The formation could not be formed in a hurry, and the Ming army cavalry charged too fast. He knew that they could not fight like this He went down, so he gritted his teeth and ordered a retreat to break through.

The Tartars who besieged Bashanzhai got on their horses and fled after hearing the order. Although these people were fake Tartars from the Eight Banners of Han Dynasty, they were also very fierce. The Ming army launched a charge and marched forward without hesitation.

Don't rush!Because the cavalry of the Ming army had blocked their way back, they had to bite the bullet and charge forward. They ran into the baptism of five hundred crossbowmen led by Wei Bao head-on. The Tartars in front were shot into hedgehogs with both men and horses.

When they paid more than 100 casualties and braved the rain of arrows to approach the crossbowmen, these crossbowmen reined in their horses, spread out left and right, and gave way to the road.Before they could be happy, the large group of cavalry led by Duke Qian Mu Tianbo rushed out from the gap.

Although these fake Tartars from the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty are fierce, they are almost no more than 01:30 compared to the Tartars who are full of Eight Banners. With the arrival of the brigade of Ming army cavalry, these hundreds of people failed to make any waves, and they were Ming The army cavalry was crushed by the impact.

Seeing that the Tartars were gone, Tusi Muyi opened the gate of the village and led the soldiers of the Territorial Office to fight out of the village. Mu Zhongxian couldn't wait to jump on a horse, and was the first to rush out of the gate, stabbing a Tartar back heart.

The Han and Eight Banners Qing soldiers who had already collapsed were attacked by two sides, and they were killed cleanly like cutting melons and vegetables in the blink of an eye. When the two armies joined forces, Mu Zhongxian got off his saddle and ran to Mu Tianbo's horse, shouting excitedly: " Father."

Mu Tianbo also had tears in the corners of his eyes, suppressing his agitated emotions. Back then, seeing that the Ming dynasty was over, he followed the emperor to Tengyue with the intention of killing himself and becoming benevolent, in order to leave behind incense so that the Mu family would not lose their inheritance.

Reluctantly, he brought his eldest son Mu Zhongxian into Mu's mansion, and his youngest daughter Mu Jianping also stayed in Tusi's mansion with his elder brother.

A few years ago, when the Mu family was so powerful in Yunnan, it was very difficult for the chieftain's daughter to marry into the Mu family, and it was impossible for her to be a regular wife. If she could get a concubine's room, it would be a high incense. Like now, the eldest son of Duke Qian, who was so powerful in Yunnan, entered the chieftain's mansion, and lost the face of his ancestors.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the situation reversed. The [-] Tartar elite and the traitor Wu Sangui were wiped out in the battle of Mopan Mountain, and the situation in Yunnan was very good.Coupled with the sudden rise of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, although he was young, he had already shown his true colors, which enabled him and the remaining soldiers of the Ming army to find their backbone, sweeping away the hesitation and confusion and seeing hope.

Having regained his senses, Mu Tianbo looked at the eldest son who was covered in blood and had a happy smile on his face, held back the sadness in his heart, squeezed out a smile, and said, "Are you and Ping'er all right?"

"Okay, okay." Mu Zhongxian originally wanted to say a lot to his father, but when they met, he didn't know where to start. He just smirked and looked at his father with a frosty face.

"My lord, you came too timely. If you were an hour and a half late, my Bashan village would have been captured by the Tartars. You saved my entire village. Come, come, don't stay here." Stand still, follow me into the village, I have the best wine and mountain game here, let's celebrate it." Bashan chieftain Mu Yi who urged the horse over said with a smile.

"Mu Chieftain, please wait for a moment, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and King Jin arrive later, it won't be too late for us to enter the village together."

"What? Both His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and King Jin are here? Has the Emperor come yet?" Chieftain Bashan asked in surprise.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, we are currently in Tengyue Mansion. His Highness the Crown Prince will supervise the army this time." After speaking, Mu Tianbo said to the soldiers behind him, "Go and invite His Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness Prince Jin over here."

"Yes, my lord." The two soldiers turned their horses and galloped away.

Standing on the hillside, Zhu Cixuan saw that the battle was coming to an end, and turned his horse's head: "Let's go, let's go to Bashanzhai." Mu Zhongliang and the commander-in-chief Wang Sheng surrounded Zhu Cixuan and went down the hillside, and a Ming army flew towards him. In front of everyone.

When Mu Zhongliang saw the person coming, he immediately said, "Chen Er, why are you here?"

The soldier of the Ming army, whom Mu Zhongliang called Chen Er, rolled off his saddle and knelt on one knee: "Your Highness, Second Young Master, General Wang, the battle ahead is over. The Duke of the Kingdom invites His Royal Highness to go to Bashanzhai."

"Get up! Just in time, we are also preparing to go to Bashanzhai, and you will lead the way." Zhu Cixuan stretched out his hand to help.

"Yes, Your Royal Highness." Chen Er got up, grabbed the reins of the horse, stepped on the stirrup with his left foot, turned on the horse, and led the way.

When Zhu Cixuan arrived in front of the gate of the Bashan village, he saw Mu Tianbo, Duke of Qian, Li Dingguo, king of Jin, and a strange young general wearing Ming army armor standing at the gate of the village. A middle-aged man with trousers, green cloth baotou, bare feet, a handkerchief made of woven cotton on his shoulder, and a short knife pinned to his waist.

With Zhu Cixuan's poor understanding, he only knows that this is a unique costume of a minority nationality, which minority is it Yi, Bai, Hani...or Dai, Zhuang, Miao, Wa, Yao...he is a little Can't tell.

However, Zhu Cixuan couldn't help it. He knew that Mu Tianbo, Duke of Guizhou, had guarded Yunnan for decades, so he must be very familiar with all the chieftains in Yunnan.

Seeing Zhu Cixuan's arrival, these people stepped forward to salute one after another.

"Minister, Li Dingguo."

"Minister, Mu Tianbo."

"Minister, Zhe Ledian chief officer Simu Yi."

"Minister, Mu Zhongxian."

"See His Royal Highness."

"Zhe Le Dian Chief's lawsuit? What kind of official position is this? Zhu Cixuan, who has just arrived for a few days, is smeared by these things, even the original owner Zhu Cixuan doesn't understand these things. Anyway, he is a chieftain, so it seems that he will have to find a teacher to make up for it in the future. This knowledge, otherwise people will report their official titles in front of you, and you still don’t know what rank they are, then it will be a failure.

As for Mu Zhongxian, it's too obvious. First, the young general of the Ming army has some similarities with Mu Tianbo. Second, Mu Zhongxian and Mu Zhongliang knew that the two were related. The young man wearing the armor of the Ming army most likely joined the chieftain's family, the eldest son of Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Qian. "

Zhu Cixuan jumped off the horse with a cart in his mind, helped them up one by one, and praised repeatedly: "Excuse me, excuse me."

"His Royal Highness, I, Ledian Commander, Siba Village, is very grateful to His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness King Jin, and Duke Qian for leading the troops to help. I have prepared delicious wine and food in the village to express my gratitude to Ledian Commander." After finishing speaking, Mu Yi led Zhu Cixuan, Li Dingguo, and Mu Tianbo into the village with an empty hand.

Zhu Cixuan turned his head to Li Dingguo who was walking beside him and said, "His Royal Highness, the captured Tartars will be strictly interrogated, and ask how many Tartars are still in Dali City? Who will lead the army? How about the city defense and equipment? After asking It is relatively positive to the news that our scouts have inquired about."

"Okay, I'll send someone there now." Li Dingguo called a soldier beside him, whispered for a moment, and the soldier ran back.

Bashanzhai is a large village with more than [-] households and [-] soldiers and horses stationed here. Most of the residents' houses are tall bamboo buildings with two floors above and below. From the ground floor of the bamboo building, the cries of chickens, ducks and livestock can be heard from time to time.The houses are all single buildings, surrounded by open spaces, and each family has its own courtyard.

Zhu Cixuan understood the benefits of this kind of building at a glance. Yunnan is humid and rainy, and the "herringbone"-shaped roof is easy to drain and will not cause water accumulation.The high feet are to prevent the moisture on the ground. The bottom floor of the bamboo building is for raising poultry and livestock, and the upper floor is for living.

Soon, Zhu Cixuan and others came to a magnificent wooden building with a large square in front. The whole wooden building was built with large wooden pillars, more than ten feet long and seven or eight feet wide. I saw 120 large wooden pillars neatly arranged, allowing cattle, horses, pigs and chickens to move freely inside.The roof is covered with fish-scale tiles that are three inches square and only two or three inches thin.

Go up the stairs along the wooden ladder and enter a very spacious lobby. There is a big bamboo mat in the lobby. There is a table made of bamboo in the middle of the bamboo mat. There is a firepit in the center of the room. An iron pot was placed, and Mu Yi did not continue to go in here, but asked everyone to sit on the bamboo mat.

Zhu Cixuan understood that this was the place to receive guests and discuss matters, and everyone sat down as guests and hosts. Four young, slender, pure and beautiful women, who looked slim and elegant, came in one file at a time, carrying dishes.

These women wear a bun on the top, with hollow silver hairpins carved with exquisite patterns obliquely inserted into the bun, wearing round-necked, narrow-sleeved, double-breasted tight jackets, and wide tube skirts that reach to the ankles.

A silver belt is tied with short-sleeved shirts and tube skirts, which should be conspicuous if they should be shown, and should be restrained when restrained, making these women's figures curvy and slender, showing their slim and slender figures.Coupled with a pair of moderately fat and thin, beautiful and upturned white jade feet, they come gracefully, giving people a graceful, chic and elegant feeling.

The food and wine were served quickly, and the bamboo tables were filled. Zhu Cixuan found that there were roast chicken, chili peppers, sour meat, fish, shrimp, snails, sour bamboo shoots, ham, etc. A woman held a bamboo tube and opened the bamboo cover. The smell of wine comes out, making people intoxicated, giving people a wonderful feeling of being drunk before drinking

Zhu Cixuan thought to himself, today is a lucky day, I can actually taste the authentic bamboo wine, the golden color of the bamboo wine is poured into the white jade cup, the fragrant and rich aroma of the wine is even more mellow.

Simuyi, the chief officer of Zheledian, picked up the white jade cup and said, "Thank you His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness the King of Jin, and Duke Qian for coming to help us in Bashan Village, so that the [-] people in our Bashan Village will not be killed. Come, cheers."
